Have a read here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Video_library
If all you want to do is transfer files from laptop to HTPC, the Samba (SMB) server is enabled by default so you can browse to the box and copy/paste files. It's not always the fastest method, but usually the easiest.

Complex cryptography requires compute effort. It's not for free.
-
The main thing that changed is Kodi, so you need to look at the commits/changes merged upstream between the Kodi versions included with the LE 11.0.4 and 11.0.6 releases.

Run "journalct | paste" and share the URL once the connection works so we can see the system log (and what went wrong, maybe)
-
Wrong. You need to edit the kernel defconfig for the correct Rockchip device. Generic is only used with x86_64 hardware.

Windows updates might update the Windows Defender definitions, but those aren't active once you install an alternative AV app (as only one can be active per. Windows security rules). So it's more likely to be a heuristics update on the AV app.

There's nothing in Kodi 20.4 for Linux/LE users except the controller addon keyboard and translation changes which will be picked-up and built (and pushed to the add-on repo) separately. Everything else is for Android or Windows.

No debug log = No problem to investigate
-
Kodi will automatically upscale < 1080p media to 1080p unless you whitelist 720p modes (then the TV does the upscaling).

Even cheaper here so I ordered one to make experiments easier
It should be delivered tomorrow or more-likely Wednesday..

Sorry but this is not supported. LE/Kodi does not support being "casted" to and the VNC add-on that can be installed only allows remote viewing of the LE/Kodi "desktop" not the reverse. The open-source world rather sucks at this stuff; largely because all the devices that (most) users want to cast from are controlled by corporations that only show love for their own captive/walled-garden device ecosystems.
-
It's not a debug log so not much use for investigations. Please update to a current LE12 nightly and see if the issue still exists?

mglae I've seen that one. It's mostly discussing problems where the adapter can't be used correctly whereas in our case it simply doesn't probe and load the driver (so not getting that far). The cbc_mbim stuff looks related to a USB-C dock.
rkershenbaum Are these ASIX adapters a simple Ethernet adapter or are they the Ethernet portion of a USB-C dock?
-
If media has been scraped into the database the watched status for an episode in the Movies database view should be updated on completion of the episode. If you enable debug logging you should see the DB query being made?
The "Trakt" add-on will push status to the Trakt website. The original purpose is to sync status between multiple hosts, but it might do the same with a single one too.

Kodi audio settings depend on the EDID data read from HDMI only during Kodi startup; hence the restart after the AVR is turned on results on 5.1 being detected. Unless someone implements HDMI hotplug support in Kodi so audio properties are updated when the HDMI sink changes, the workaround that you've done is the right solution.
-
Simple. Install 11.0.6 and disable auto-update, then perform a manual 'update' to 11.0.4.

You'll probably find that the addon uses inputstream.adaptive and the stream is 'adapting' and serving the optimum quality stream for current conditions. Note that 'optimum' doesn't only mean what's best for you, it also covers what's best for the upstream CDN infrastructure and under conditions where resources are constrained and actively managed you might be served 720p streams and not the normal/expected 1080p. Or the add-on needs reworking to accomodate some upstream change.
